sa-learn should read from a file, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know what
Evolution does, but I would assume it passes a file name as an argument.
Have you tried:

/usr/bin/sa-learn --ham "$1"

You may need to use the --mbox option too, depends on the format of the
file.

I could be completely wrong, but it's easy enough to try.

--rebuild makes it rebuild the Bayesian database. It is, I believe, the
default value. You can tell it not to rebuild the database with  --no-
rebuild. This is useful if you are going to call sa-learn a bunch of
times in a row - call it with --no-rebuild, then at the end you can run
"sa-learn --rebuild". Or better, something like "nice sa-learn --rebuild
--showdots". I don't know why this isn't in the man page - I'm sure I
learned it from some man page or other. Maybe it's been replaced with --
sync and --no-sync, but --rebuild and --no-rebuild still work for
backwards compatibility? Just a guess...
